Bachtopus is an accordion ensemble from New York City that performs music by contemporary composers and Johann Sebastian Bach. The group has become one of the few accordion ensembles in the United States that focuses on new music. Having established a large repertoire in just a few years, Bachtopus seeks to play more original compositions, commissioned works, and contemporary music that is interesting, accessible, and grounded in traditional folk music.
